Gaelic Warrior relished the extended distance to take the Brooklands Golden Miller Chronograph Bowl Chase for the Mullins team at Aintree.

Trained by Willie and partnered by his son and assistant Patrick, the 11-4 chance was patiently ridden as he stepped up to three miles and a furlong in the Grade One and jumped well throughout.
